New Career. The new management of Outing, un- der Mr. Caspar Whitney as editor, and an Advisory Board consisting of C. C. Cuyler, S: Ri Bertron, Siok, Houston, T. D. M. Cardeza, David M. Goodrich and Walter Camp, shows new life and the magazine is distinctly more inter- esting. Its progress will be watched closely for it is its aim to occupy a field not hitherto exploited in a successful way. It is too early to judge of the present policy. There is undoubtedly a good field, of uncertain size, for a publication which will treat the different phases of sport and recreation from the. standpoint of presenting something in- teresting. Instruction has already been overdone in many publications. The old tone of aggressive opposition {to signs of professionalism in amateur athletics and particulary in college ath- letics, is shown in Mr. Whitney's de- partment, covering the month’s review. That the present editor of Outing has done in the past some excellent work in this line, even his most severe critics will admit. That there is the danger of becoming known as a consistent fault- finder, is attested by the experience of all reformers. It is the hope. of the ALUMNI WEEKLY that this department, as far as it relates to college sports, will be not only fearless, but that it will lead and encourage as well as attack and de- stroy. The time has-been when such criticisms as Outing now. contains have ‘lost their effect because the objects of them have been able to defend them- selves behind a more or less general sen- timent of displeasure or weariness. It is always difficult to judge an athletic in- cident with perfect fairness and many have wondered whether such frequent criticism as has been indulged in could always be supported by most competent witnesses. The field is very wide; the circumstances of each case _ peculiar. Great care is necessary. This is talking frankly, but criticism is of no use unless it is frank. The wish of the WxkeEkty is for the greatest possible success of Outing and for its increasing good influence on amateur sport. Another Handsome Record. The Class of 1867 must also be en- tered in the competition for the dis- tinction of producing the most complete and the handsomest Yale Class record. A short paragraph was written a few weeks ago about the record of the Class or Sixty-Two-. Phe last’ record ot Sixty-Seven had not, we confess, come under our eye. Without taking back any of the good things said of the Sixty-Two book, it must be admitted that it is practically impossible to pass the record made in the book of Sixty- Seven. The same system of two por- traits, one that of college and one the latest, is used in the case of most members. The very complete history of each man and the special tables of sta- tistics, carries the book to nearly 400 pages.Nothing is omitted in the record of the Trigintennial meeting. The frontispiece is a very good picture of the Class group at Osborn Hall. The WEEKLY is indebted to Mr. Davenport for a copy of the Record, which is very much appreciated as an addition to the library. The Class Secretary of Sixty- Seven is William H. Morse. 4 A Roger Sherman Tablet. The Hon. Simeon E. Baldwin, Yale 61, has placed in the United Church in New Haven, a tablet in memory of his ancestor, Roger Sherman, Yale M.A., 1768, who served as Treasurer of Yale College from 1765 to 1776. The inscrip- tion reads as follows: : 1721 IN MEMORY OF ROGER SHERMAN 1793 A member of this Church from 1761 until his death He served this City as its first Mayor, Yale College as its Treasurer The colony and state as an assistant and judge of the Superior Court and the Supreme Court of Errors | The ree arupes as a member of every Congress trom I to I When he died a Seas, fe One of the Committee which drew up the Declaration of Independence One of that which reported the Articles of Federation Of the Convention that framed the Na- tional Constitution | And the signer of these three charters of American liberty “Songs of All the Colleges.” “Songs of All the Colleges,’ from the press of Hinds and Noble, New York, is the title of the latest compila- tion of colleges songs, which has been prepared by David B. Chamberlain of Harvard, and Karl P. Harring- ton of Wesleyan. There are in all 172 songs in the book, which have been gathered with considerable care, and well-arranged and harmonized, each song having a separate page. Many of them have a well-balanced piano ac- companiment. A large number of the old songs, familiar to college men everywhere, and typical of no particular college or section of the country, are printed, as well as a few songs which are typical of each of the older of the eastern institutions. The book, taken as a whole, gives a very fair idea of the standard of American college music and shows it on a higher level than previ- ous compilations of the same sort have shown it. There is still too much chaff among the wheat, however, and the genuinely good tunes which permit a hearty expression of the healthy senti- ment every college man should feel for his Alma Mater, are too few. The new publication gives Yale three songs, only two of which are distinctly of Yale— “Alma Mater,” and “Bright College Years.” “Bingo,” also printed, is not Yale’s alone. This emphasizes the singular fact that Yale has few good songs suitable for general singing. The book, which is nine by eleven inches in size and sells for $1.00, is neatly bound in dark green buckram. The only thing that mars an otherwise excellent production is a drawing on the front cover, stamped in red and cream, representing the heads of a sing-™ ing quartet of capped and gowned stu- dents, whose contorted faces are any- thing but artistic. The fragments of songs surrounding the faces have the notes on the wrong side of the stems. Fincke is Track Captain. At a meeting of the Track Team held Monday afternoon, June 4, William Mann Fincke, 1901S. of New York City was elected Captain for next year. Mr. Fincke is twenty-two years old, weighs 156 pounds and is 5 feet 10% inches tall. He prepared at Hill School, Pottstown, where he was Captain of the Football Team and a member of the Track Team, his special events being the high and low hurdles. At Yale he was quarter-back of his Freshman Eleven and Captain. Inthe Spring he won points in the high hurdles in the Dual and Inter- collegiate meets. He played quarter- back on the Yale Eleven last Fall. Mr. Fincke is a member of Delta Psi and a Deacon of his Class. —_—__—_#e-—__- — University Boat Club Elections.
